BECAUSE he had previously given work to a private haulier, Mr. J. Charlton could not get British Road Services to carry a cow for him from Tynedale mart to Carmlington. He made this allegation when he appeared bef or e the Northern Licensing Authority, last week, in support of Messrs. T. and L. Dent, Annitsford, who wished to carry livestock without radius restriction.
Mr. J. L. R. Croft, for British Railways and British Road Services. said that if the application were granted the transport situation at local marts would be more inadequate than ever.
The Authority dismissed the application on the ground that local farmers would probably be dissatisfied with resulting conditions.
